Laying out variegated tencel and wool-blend roving...
...in a circular fashion...
...and covering one side of the project with an additional layer of roving.
Layers of wool from my stash...
...(in random colors)...
...are applied to the 'non-design' side...
...until the mat is the proper thickness.
The project is wetted out...
...and felting is begun.
My daughter's cat has a domed litter box...
...and I was asked to create a 'welcome mat"...
...(to help keep errant kitty litter pellets...
...from being tracked throughout her house).
Next time: the finished mat.

Ah.. MAT - when I saw this on FB I read HAT :) Hence the 'spiral inside or out' question lol.
Lucky kitty's gonna have a very fine mat :)

I'm intrigued that you've picked something so woodlike to depict with tencel, which if I recall my studies, is a synthetic made from wood pulp!
Deborah- Hahaha...what a difference a letter makes! :)
Rachel- You always make the most interesting observations!!
